Forma — design-build studio for custom homes

From drawing
to driveway.

Scroll — the idea grows from a sketch of light to the house itself, drawn, modeled and built by one studio.

Fig. 01 — scale 1:100

The Sketch

Light over paper — massing, sun and sightlines argued at the desk.

Fig. 02 — scale 1:20

The Model

The idea gets a body — structure and glass proven at table scale.

Fig. 03 — scale 1:1

Built

The same lines you approved, standing in the evening sun.

We build at every scale.

One studio, one contract, one unbroken line from the first pencil stroke to the keys in your hand.

Fig. 02 — the position

Most builders take over after the drawings. We are the drawings — the architect, the engineer and the crew share one desk, so nothing is lost between the sketch and the site.
